LANDesk Software and Intel Active Management Technology
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) enables new functionality for network and systems management software. With Intel AMT, LANDesk® Software’s customers can save time and increase productivity with new abilities to remotely access and inventory Intel AMT devices even before software agents are installed. LANDesk® customers can also perform more effective device discovery, and eliminate costly desk-side visits by remotely troubleshooting and restoring systems even when they are crashed or powered down.
IT departments continue to face significant challenges in managing computing environments. IT departments are often unaware of a percentage of systems on the network, and so cannot apply the corporation’s policies to those systems. Additionally, systems remain difficult to locate after they’ve been upgraded or re-imaged. Basic inventory information is also not readily available when a system is turned off. When systems are hung or crashed, they can’t be remotely accessed, diagnosed or fixed, and often require multiple visits to the user’s desk. Finally, systems are often difficult to diagnose from a help desk because users accidentally—or deliberately— remove remote-management agents.
LANDesk® management solutions used with Intel AMT-enabled systems offer IT departments efficient, remote management and accurate inventory collection even in the absence of an operating system (OS). For example, during a typical department upgrade, ten new bare-bones machines might be plugged into the network. Traditionally, a network administrator would have to physically go to each machine and install a management agent before the system could be recognized and brought into compliance with the corporation’s policies.
